The vegetarian tower—almost a work of art—merges island yams and plantains with portobello mushrooms and other fresh vegetables. Meat dishes feature mango sauces and other island touches. Live Latin music Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Daily for lunch and dinner, Saturday and Sunday for brunch. Reservations recommended. $$-$$$.
